E.m. Why Lyrics - Singles - Ex

finally there's sales-resistance 

record-business stagnates 

the companies call it a crisis 

they must be out of their minds 

still too much shit surrounds me 

this popmusic dirties my ears 

i wait for the beloved moment 

that this music disappears 

record-companies investigate 

new waves to cram down your throat 

the next saturday nightmare fever 

another consumption-craze 

new horizons in retailing 

make all noises sound the same 

there's even muzak for silent movies 

it's just all part of their game 

so they let you into their studios 

recording your songs on their terms 

and they will take care of your business 

it means they're after your share 

flirting with skill to convince you 

change the words and sound around a bit 

do them a favor do behave you 

they promise you'll get a hit 

but what if there ain't enough profits 

on the products you make that sell 

don't worry yet 

they'll recycle your songs when you're dead 

the gang of four smiles 

they think the e.m.i.'s their friend 

e.m.i. smiles 

he's glad the gang of four is fooled 

now he can exploit them 

look how happy they are
